1. The Newtonian View: An Invisible Pull Sir Isaac Newton envisioned gravity as an invisible force that pulls objects toward one another. According to his laws, the strength of this pull depends on two things: Mass: The heavier the objects, the stronger the pull. Distance: The farther apart they are, the weaker the pull. This is why you stick to the Earth rather than being pulled toward a nearby building; the Earth is simply much, much more massive. 2. The Einsteinian View: Warped Spacetime Albert Einstein changed the game with General Relativity . He suggested that gravity isn't just a "pull, " but a result of massive objects warping the "fabric" of the universe, known as spacetime . Imagine placing a bowling ball in the middle of a trampoline. The ball creates a dip in the fabric. If you roll a marble nearby, it will spiral toward the bowling ball. In this analogy: The Bowling Ball is a planet or star. The Trampoline is spacetime. The Marble...
